"...OccupyWallStreet protester with a spot-on & passionate speech re Ending the Federal Reserve, Minimizing the Federal Government, Ending the Fractional Reserve Banking System, Ending the Monetary Fiasco that is the government-controlled FIAT money system & Ending the Wars that were engineered to make the richest 1% even richer. We also need to have an independent audit and inventory of all the gold reserves in the USA. We need to hold the Bankers and Elite responsible for their crimes against humanity... End the Fed, End the Wars & End the Corruption!!

Distribute Far and Wide... Props to "chris", the man in the video & small story visuals (http://www.youtube.com/user/Small1124)... chris is You... chris is Me... chris is US...

All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!" So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now, bring a friend and go to your nearest #Occupy protest or Federal Reserve Bank. Peacefully assemble, but let them know that YOU'RE MAD AS HELL, AND NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

When will people get tired of their styck. Yes, Bush's Tarp designs encouraged the Fed to print money for the banksters, which should not have happened.. But , ask Ron Paul Supporters if they support increasing taxes on the rich or the bank fees tax to prevent another bank bubble. I suspect their answer would be no.. Ask the speaker his views on Social Security , he'll likely give you some tripe about it being a ponzi scheme..
Know people's grand design before you listen to their pretty speeches.. There is a Ron Paul page. Think I stumbled upon it at Facebook.. 60 to 100 Paul addicts promised to come down to Liberty Park to educate us.. that kind of education we don't need. We hear it every day from Wall Street but from the inside.

9. Yes, fractional reserve banking is messed up,.
I find almost every political party or political ideological fraction has maybe 20 percent reasonable positions or policies,. then they have a bunch wrong minded fail positions,. Ron Paul is correct about foreign policy,. end the wars and save lives and money. I agree with many of the personal freedom statements made by our Libertarian comrades,. but they seem to miss the point that if you do not regulate business/corporations; financially, environmentally, workers rights,. etc. they will seek that profit at all costs. We need to balance freedom of people to use resources without entrenching power elite to lord over and control resources that belong to ALL OF US,. while destoring one part of the eco-sphere, to harvest another for sort term gain i.e. PROFIT.

Yes, fractional reserve banking is messed up,. and a new system is need to replace it. Community based banking perhaps, investing in local food production , energy infrastructural, and green housing. Democracy should not be something you do once every four years with the press of a button. Constrained capitalism,. not the libertarian individual wealth rules all fantasy. That just gets you a feudal corporate-power structure.

6. me too
I kind of got a whiff when he turned his rant to gold.

Ron Paul would probably attempt to enact monetary change--but he will also strip every person of their right to their dignity while in the process.

No thank you... I won't vote for ron paul. He's too crazy for me.

4. End the FED, I agree but...
replace it with what ? before the fed private banks still dominated the finances of the USA, they were allowed to issue money without any real reserve, gold backed money is not the solution, there is too little, and most of it is controlled by central banks who would need to leverage it to get enough money in circulation just like the paper money, and gold is also subject to speculation...

You don't hear much from the RP supporters that as the constitution states only congress can issue the money, that would make government debt free, bring banking speculation to a halt because banks would really need reserve in order to lend and they would not be inclined to speculate since in the end the responsibility for any loss would be theirs, it would also make government independent of banking interest so we could expect it being more responsive to the citizens needs, elections would finally mean something...

another easier route is to do as south Dakota has done, create a state bank that finances government spending and investment, SD is the only states that has a financial surplus every year, at present several states are looking into the SD model and may create their own state owned bank eventually.

5. I refuse to listen to this Ron Paul supporter.
Already the protests are being undermined by extremist libertarians.

10. Unrec
More Ron Paul Bullshit.

Yes, the fed is a flawed set up.

No, it is not even remotely the reason we are in the fix we are in now. Bitching about the fed is a way to distract from the LIBERTARIAN mess of continual and unending deregulation creep. This is Bullshit and shouldn't even be posted here.
